Geddes, NY - Hard rock fans did get a loud start to the holiday weekend with the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family BBQ Saturday at the state fairgrounds' Chevy Court.

But police say a few people at the event got a little too rowdy.

As bands rocked out, about a dozen small scuffles broke out throughout the day, Onondaga County Sheriff's Sgt. Richard McCarron said. No one was seriously injured, and Chestnut Street Security, a private security firm at the event, handled most of the scuffles and other problems.

Around 4:20 p.m., security officers escorted 22-year-old Ashley M. Hutchins, of 7512 Railroad St., Lowville, out of Chevy Court after she got into a fight with another woman near a mosh pit. Neither woman was injured, McCarron said.

After security escorted Hutchins -- who was intoxicated -- outside the gate, McCarron said, the woman tried to get back in, yelling and threatening people.

Hutchins is accused of taking a swing at a security officer, but not striking anyone, McCarron said.

When McCarron handcuffed Hutchins, McCarron said Hutchins "tried to pull away, screaming, yelling and kicking at us. It was so fruitless. It was the evil of booze."

Hutchins was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and trespass and disorderly conduct, both violations. She was sent to the Onondaga County Justice Center, pending arraignment in Geddes Town Court.

Sheriff’s deputies also charged another patron at the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family BBQ with harassment, a violation, after that person was seen fighting with another patron. That person's name was not immediately available.

Geddes police also charged a man, whose name also was not immediately available, with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. The man is accused of biting another man’s hand, biting a chunk of his skin off, McCarron said. The other man who was bitten had minor injuries, and was evaluated at the scene, but refused to go to the hospital, McCarron said.

The fairgrounds were still buzzing today with TK99's Blues, Brews and BBQ, but on a much quieter note.

National and local bands will perform for free at Chevy Court.

The Chris Terra Band started the music at 2 p.m. today, followed by The Fabulous Ripcords and The Super Delinquents.

The national portion of the show starts with Coco Montoya at 5:30 p.m., followed by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The Max Weinberg Experience will close out the day, starting its set around 8:55 p.m.

McCarron said the crowds today have been more orderly.

Also at the fairgrounds today, thousands are expected to gather for the annual watchfire ceremony and ride. Riders will start to line up at 6:30 p.m. near the watchfire, across from Gate 7 at the fairgrounds. The watchfire ceremony, which starts at dusk, honors veterans and provides an opportunity to legally retire flags.
